@ Lotus-Leaves Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Lotus-leaves


The Tradition and The Book
-law of love, of faith and of charity as I walk

The Doctrine and The Dogma
-rules for me to attain the saints’ or the sinner’s drama

The Sign and The symbol
-incantation I need to echo in the church or in the temple

The Spirituality and The Way of Life
-that governs my days and nights to avoid strife

The Priest, The Religious, The Lay
-invitation for me to live, the journey to holiness each day

The Obedience, The Poverty, The Chastity
-the highest good and noble truth for you and for me

The Altar Meal and The Table Feast
-I am then part of the body, therefore, I have to share my life’s best

The Nature and Prayer, The Silence and Character
-I am the living message of what I believe, and that I have to be aware

Inspired from the “Eight Fold Path”
